Indeed. You would think such critical traditions would be spelled out clearly as in this:
1 Corinthians 15:
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
What is ironical is the Roman Catholic as well as the Eastern Orthodox churches all claim to hold to "Tradition" as equal to Holy Scripture, yet, they disagree with EACH OTHER over what those traditions are. Having a hierarchy over them didn't resolve the reason why they split from each other in the first place over a thousand years ago. Holding to the definition of the doctrine of sola Scriptura as defended by the Reformers as well as most all of the early church fathers, would acknowledge that the principle of the over all authority of the divinely-inspired Scriptures most certainly IS found within Scripture. Those who hold to "their" church as the authority place man against God's own holy word and that is a dangerous place to be.
